Ahoy!!!

Land Ho!!!

The explorer models turned out great!  We learned a lot about each of the explorers!

We are glad that they were curious enough to discover new land, riches and weren't afraid of a challenge!

GREAT WORK!!!

NEED A GOOD LAUGH?

Here is one you can't but help laugh with!!!

Have a good Laugh and Have a GREAT DAY!!!

Explorer Juice

As Mrs. Pinar's class came in this morning for Social Studies, I was taking a last few sips of my Pomegranate Berry Smoothie I made this morning.  They asked me what was in it and if it was good!

"It is delicious and good for you," I said.

 I joked and said it was some sort of explorer juice.  Then they wanted to name it after an explorer we were studying.  So the name they came up with was:

Henry Hudson's River Juice - AKA: Pomegranate Berry Smoothie

Recipe:

1 cup berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or blackberries or combo. of all - I have been using
                      the Triple Berry Blend from Schwan's)

1/4 cup pomegranate juice (I use Pom - it goes a long way)
1/4 cup water
1 banana - sliced
1 cup ice cubes
HINT: (If using frozen berries, add a bit more water)

Blend in blender
Makes enough for 2
ENJOY!!!

Explorer Project and Sample

Attached you will find a short video showing the Explorer Project.
Students will be given two days in the computer lab and one day in class to work on notecards this week.  Finalizing notecards, if needed, and working on the model will be done at home.

Students will be supplied with the paper model and tagboard.  If a student needs construction paper, he or she may borrow some.

The project is due Wednesday, February 15 and is worth two grades.   

Students will give a short presentation on their explorer and they will then be displayed.

Thank you!

Native American Presentation - Notecards

Below you will find a sample of what your notecards should look like and what you should have on them during your presentation.  Remember, the key is to practice, practice, practice so you know your facts and can look at your audience.

I'm looking forward to your presentations!
